| I think tippmann should make a metal rachet that way they last longer and solve the braking rachet problem. |

It would probably boost up the price a little and they figure if they make it then there would be no point in getting the TechT or the NewDesignz upgrades. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

lol my cousin informed me he hadnt oiled his gun ever after using it quite a few times. He didnt even put any in the ASA to shoot some through. I was a little annoyed since he wasnt taking care of his X7. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

It might have been the case back when Dennis Tippmann Sr and Jr were both majority share holders in the company, but an investment firm bought up a controlling share of stock a while back. Bottom line becomes more of the focus at that point. Mind you, they still care a LOT about the quality of the marker, but are willing to take the risk of replacing vs building a metal part that will cost more overall. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

I doubt it will happen. The reason the ratchet wears is because you have 2 materials rubbing on each other. The 2 parts are of similar composition, so the wear is even. If you make one of those parts out of a different material, then the other one will wear even faster. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site
